The city fully implemented the Government Energy Management Program (GEMP), followed closely by General Santos City, which scored 99% and earned a 5-star rating.
The DOE assessed 224 government entities, which averaged an 86.27% compliance rate, under guidelines requiring a 10–20% reduction in electricity and fuel use.
Energy efficiency measures include keeping air-conditioning at no lower than 24°C, using energy-saving lighting, and adopting fuel-efficient practices for official vehicles.
